Viral Video: After what appeared to be a typical auto ride, an Uber customer in Noida was stunned to find a bill of crores. When Deepak Tenguriya scheduled an auto trip, the fee was merely ₹62. Even though the driver had not stopped the ride, Tenguriya was shocked to discover a staggering cost of ₹7.66 crore on his app when he arrived at his destination.
Viral Video Emerges on Social Media Platform X
After Deepak’s friend posted a video recording of the incident on social media platform X, it became public knowledge. Deepak and his friend Ashish were heard talking about the huge bill that Deepak got out of the blue in the video.
“Early in the morning @Uber_India made @TenguriyaDeepak so rich that he is thinking of taking the Uber franchise next. The good thing is that the trip has not been cancelled yet. Become a crorepati loanee instantly by booking an auto for ₹ 62,” Ashish wrote in the post.
Additional Charges for Waiting Time
Upon Ashish’s request, Deepak displayed the sum on the phone screen, “₹ 7,66,83,762.” Deepak was further billed ₹5,99,09189 for his waiting time, from which ₹75 was subtracted as a promotional discount. The GST charges in the bill were then questioned by a voice behind the camera, to which Deepak refuted the existence of any such charges. “Even if you had booked Chandrayaan, then that ride also wouldn’t have cost you this much,” the duo were heard joking.
Reacting to the clip, Uber wrote, “Hey, sorry to hear about the trouble. Please allow us some time while we are looking into this issue for you. We will get back to you with an update.”
